The hope of the ginkgo tree. A watercolor study for a much larger acrylic painting. Ginkgo trees have been a sign of hope for centuries, actually prehistoric in there biology. Six actually survived the first A-bomb, the only trees that did.This is one of the buildings I have wanted to sketch, I went to the door after sketching only to find it is no longer in business. Still a beautiful spot in Mukilteo #mukilteo #mukilteosketchers #usk #urbansketchersStudied new growth on rhododendrons, never saw the new growth like this. Nature sketching is like having new eyes. #naturesketch #naturetogetherFlowers in a bowl, acrylic on canvas, 11x14 #acrylicpainting #fineart #flowersSomething a bit different, actually planning a larger one soon. For you painters, this is watercolor with only a pallet knife #watercolor #abstractpaintingAnother great group of Yes! You can travelsketchers! At Red Cup. Fun time and some nice work #thetravelsketcher #sketchingArchives
